Good day to all, How do we connect the inverter to the Raspberry PI? Already made a cable from inverter to battery. As we can see, the cable is connected from the BMS 485/CAN to A/CAN and works 100%. The battery is connected to the Raspberry Pi. Still working. Can read the battery values in Solar Assistant. Now I need to connect the Inverter to the Raspberry Pi. Will just adding the RS232 to USB cable work?. Logic tells me it should work, but its always nice to hear from someone that has already done it. Yes, I will be removing the data logger from the Sunsynk. Their software does not update fast enough and does not give me total control. Will updating the inverter be possible without the WiFi stick and will the time sync. This is only out of curiosity, not a make or break thing. As always, thank you for the best forum ever.

Time was right, but set it to manual just in case. App shows gateway connected and wifi dongle lights flashing as usual when I click on plant no info, but then I saw this........ .

Thank you. Still down for me.

Good day, As from yesterday at 12:26 my inverter shows offline in the sunsync connect app and on the pc When I re-create the plant in powerview everything looks fine

Thank you.

Why does the charge current limit show 0 amps?

Page 57 of the training manual https://portal.segensolar.co.za/reseller/docs/Training Manual Sunsynk.pdf "F13 - Working mode change If you are making a change while the system is running, like parallel or disabling the parallel operation, it may cause the system to crash. This is actually a very dangerous problem and can easily damage the inverter. If you are making such changes, you need to isolate the inverter from the load. When the battery mode was changed to 'No battery' mode, it will report F13. If you get an F13 fault, the best solution is normally to reset the system." Got F13 Fault after changing the timer. Beeped for a minute and then worked normally again.

I have a 30a breaker with 4mm wire L+N and earth running from my main db to a sub db. Coming from the axpert inverter, I connected the old inverter between the main db and the sub db. The the sub db's work is to power all my loads I wish to put on it. (Not exceeding 2kW) Can I connect the Sunsynk the same? And can I put the CT coil between the main and sub db? And one more thing. The earth neutral bond in the drawing. What sould I do.? Just connect all normally or bond it?

Aaaaand, one more question I wont be splitting essential and non essential loads. The inverter will only be used for essential loads (Sunsynk). Max load will be 2kW, but only for a short while and usually 500w and sometimes even less. I have a conlog prepaid meter. If the CT is installed between the prepaid meter and the main breaker, will this be ok? Heard that sometimes the prepaid meter trips if a little bit of current goes back to the grid.

https://powerforum-store.co.za/collections/inverters/products/sunsynk-5kw-1p-hybrid-pv-inverter-48v One last question. Does this inverter include the wi-fi dongle?

Thank you. I tend to over complicate things.

Logic tells me https://powerforum-store.co.za/ is the store associated with the power forum and https://thepowerstore.co.za/ is not? Sorry. Never realized I was on the one or the other.

https://thepowerstore.co.za/ https://powerforum-store.co.za/

Just asking. Are there 2 Powerstores? The one with the small house is what I get when I click from the powerforum and the other comes up when I do a google search. Something smells fishy?

2 different pages when I click on about. Both legit sites?

Newsphere Trading as the power store. Is this the powerstore?

Funny, because I can not find it in the power store search or inverter list

R11,983.00 Cheaper than the crap axpert clone I bought 5 years ago (R13,000.00) Yes, I was green and the salesperson saw my need to try and help eskom lighten the load

Solis Energy Storage 5kW Hybrid S5 Inverter with DC switch SKU SOL-S5-EH1P6K-L R 11,983.00 Anybody have more info? Seems a bit cheap. it's from the powerstore

Anybody familiar with The Solar Guys in East London? (Legit?) https://thesolarguys.energy/product/deye-5kw-hybrid-inverter-sun-5k-sg01lp1-eu/?gad_source=4&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmMayBhDuARIsAM9HM8eGmJRwZ55kdRkHJc3-UJU3-ag2HN6hShcUcP-RaISxSBMSVW2MU-IaAvXzEALw_wcB Thanks for the link. Still shopping around

The brand will be your personal choice. Samsung is an excellent air-conditioner. After 30 years of air-con installations, the only ones that outlasted all of them is LG I'm not a LG sales person, I have a Carrier inverter in my lounge. 🙂 LG was just a bit to expensive for my budget I've installed a unit similar to the Samsung one and for 2 years no problems Then a lightning strike later and the whole building had no air-conditioning (a very pricey repair) I would personally go for individual units for each room. Installing 2x18000btu to get to 36000btu will cost way more than just getting a 36000btu As far as brands, please stick to good names; Samsung, LG, Carrier, Panasonic, etc.... Lately, Midea, Gree and even TCL made good air-cons. But the king for power consumption and performance is still LG
